GIBRALTAR: The Iranian oil tanker at the centre of a diplomatic dispute has departed from Gibraltar after the British overseas territory rejected a US demand to seize the vessel.
Its Supreme Court ordered the tanker released last Thursday, with Iranian officials saying a new crew had arrived to pilot the vessel - now renamed the Adrian Darya - and its 2.1 million barrels of oil. As of early Monday, the vessel had turned east, with Marine Traffic reporting its destination as Kalamata in Greece.
The US - citing Tehran's threat to American allies - expanded its military presence in the region with a new aircraft carrier task force, missile batteries and strategic bombers.
